Translator notes:

Basically, I decided to pick up Star Martial God Technique despite it being on an indefinite hiatus. I don't have a set chapters per week and will mostly do this whenever I feel like it. I'll also be retranslating everything as the current translations of SMGT are not up to my liking. Chapters are coming soon!

A tremendous raging river flowed endlessly; on either sides of the river laid a mountain range which stretched into the distance. Within the mountain range, one could often hear bellows of demonic beasts. These sounds resounded throughout the mountains as though it were surging thunder.

Standing erect by the vast plains beside the river banks was a mighty city.

This city was located on the edge of the Ji Province of the Grand Zou Empire; it was named Heavenly Ancestor City. Due to the fact that the city’s position is near the border, it resulted in wars continuously ravaging the city over the past years. During the last few years, the area had been slightly calmer thanks to the increase in strength of the Grand Zou Empire.

Within Heavenly Ancestor City, Heavenly Star Academy.

In the high noon, the vicious sun rays was reflected on the face of the people, sounds of cheering could be heard from a vacant field in the Heavenly Star Academy. A group of students were sitting on the ground cross legged with their eyes fixed to the front.

In front of them was young male teacher in the middle of demonstrating martial skills, the muscles on his entire body was bulky like an ancient colossal beast. His arms were incomparably thick and solid, and it was covered in dark scales that reflected a deep metallic luster under the sun.

“Martial arts are broad and profound, from the ancient times till today, the martial arts have gone through numerous of evolutions. At last, it left us with three of the strongest kinds of martial arts; Flame-, Dragon- and Star martial arts.” The young teacher was demonstrating the martial skills while simultaneously introducing the martial arts, “I’m a Dragon martial artist.”

“A Dragon martial artists have the dragon blood inheritance within their body. The cultivators of the Dragon martial art can activate the dragon blood within their body to strengthen their mortal body, possessing an incomparably powerful strength, just like this!” the young teacher tightly gripped his right fist and its muscle bulged, it gave the people a violent and powerful pressure. He threw a fist toward the massive rock next to him that weighs several hundred Jin.

From within the muscles, a burst of explosion sounds came forth, wantonly showing off its strength.

Boom!

The stone fragments scatters around.

A spiral shaped punch mark with the size of a millstone was left behind on the massive rock, as if someone had drilled it using an iron auger.

It would be hard to imagine what would happen if a person were to receive a punch like that.

The numerous students looked in awe, what kind of frightening power was this? The Dragon martial artists amongst the students were overwhelmed with emotions, unable to calm themselves for a long time. Apparently, Dragon martial artists are capable of possessing a formidable strength like this.

Among the students was a youth earnestly sitting upright, his gaze was completely fixed on the teacher. He looked around fifteen to sixteen years old, his clothes was slightly plain and simple, due to exposure of the vicious sun rays, his skin had turned slightly dark. His body was covered in sweat beads, but his appearance was still exceptionally delicate and handsome.

His name was Ye Xinghe, he was from the Blue Carp Town of the Heavenly Ancestor City. He was the sole person in the whole Blue Carp Town that had relied on his own efforts and talent to enter the Heavenly Star Academy. Therefore, it was only natural that he treasured opportunities like this.

Presently, the young teacher was tirelessly continuing his speech, “The Dragon martial artists have the most in numbers but are not the strongest. The strongest ones are the Flame martial artists, if a Flame martial artist were to fight a Dragon martial artist in close combat, then they would not necessarily be the stronger of the two. However, a Flame martial artist’s powers come from the power of the flames, hence they are able to use powerful seal arts to directly defeat several Dragon martial artists in the same rank.

“What about Star martial artists?” A melodious voice was heard from a young girl.

“Star martial artists cultivates the power of the stars, with each of them having a different unique cultivation method. The power of the stars also have numerous of unique abilities, such as healing, and use various types of movement skills, etc. In the ancient era, Star martial arts had produced many formidable experts, some were even capable of moving stars and moons, they were simply going against the will of the heavens! However, many cultivation techniques were not passed down, so amongst the current Star martial artists, the number of people capable of reaching the ninth Heavenly Layer realm were very few!” the young teacher said with a sigh.

Ye Xinghe subtly clenched his fist. During the admittance, Ye Xinghe, along with the other students, had partaken in a test. The results had stated he could only become a Star martial artist.

“Haha, it seems like Star martial artists are useless!” A youth wantonly laughed, he was deemed to possess a Flame martial physique, hence his heart was filled with pride.

Ye Xinghe’s face was burning in shame, his class had up to 30 students and among them, there were only six Star martial artists. Among the six of these Star martial artists, five of them were girls, therefore, Ye Xinghe had become a target for ridicule. A man becoming a Star martial artist was simply shameful!

“That’s wrong. These three great martial arts have been passed down for several generations, every one of them are broad and profound. Any martial art cultivated to a higher layered realm are capable of unleashing an extremely formidable power!” the young teacher’s complexion turned exceedingly serious followed by a sinking voice, “If you ridicule the Star martial artists, then you’re also ridiculing the whole Star martial inheritance!”

The youth that was ridiculing the Star martial artists immediately shut his mouth and lowered his head, not daring to talk. Although, he wasn’t able to accept this in his heart, but he also understood the meaning behind the teacher's words; It’s better to not carelessly and presumptuously talk like that.

The young teacher continued, “There was once a powerful Star martial artist that reversed the stars, and with the power of the stars, he set up six Star Pillars whose height shot through the heaven. Afterwards, he had used only a single palm to annihilate an entire empire. The reason as to why the Star martial artists had decreased was not because of their inheritance being weak, but there was simply no qualified successors!”

Using a palm to annihilate an empire!

“Heavens, what a terrifying power!” The students were shocked, unable to hide the astonishment on their face.

Ye Xinghe couldn’t stop himself from displaying a fascinated expression, what kind of extraordinary existence was this?

“After the admittance till now, you have already undergone a physique determination test. In two hours, you will undergo a test for innate talent. You can prepare for now, I will go and check the arrangement for the innate talent test!” the young teacher said, hinting to the students to sit here. He then turned around and walked toward a distant place.

The students sat down in their former place, they seemed to be more relaxed.

They had observed each other as they would become classmates from now on.

Among them was a youth in a white gown, he swept through the students with a cold gaze. He said in a commanding tone, “Today is the first day of our admittance, from here on, we will be classmates. Some of you are from a noble family, and some of you are underlings of a territory. I don’t care where you are from, but you ought to understand one thing. From now on, everything related to this class will be decided by me, do you understand?”

After hearing what the youth said, a series of comments immediately erupted from the students.

“Who is this arrogant guy?” A student asked in a low voice.

“You don’t know who he is? His name is Liangyu, he’s the son of Heavenly Ancestor City’s Darkmoon family. The Darkmoon family is only second to the City Lord Mansion’s super noble family, the Heavenly Ancestor City has six towns in its surroundings, and all of them belongs to the Darkmoon family. The individuals beside him are the sons of Heavenly Ancestor City’s noble families!” another student said with a low voice.

Hearing these students discussing in a low voice, Ye Xinghe’s gaze flashed a trace of a raging fire. It seems like the people in front of him belongs to the Darkmoon family!

Although his heart was filled with resentment, he still had his head lowered in silence.

Blue Carp Town was Darkmoon family’s territory, and Ye Xinghe’s Azure Feather family was a family under the Darkmoon family. Within these territories, the Darkmoon family had an authority beyond anyone’s comprehension.

He remembers when he was six years old, Ye Xinghe’s aunt had come to age and her beauty was very well known within the Blue Carp Town, she was also very nice to Ye Xinghe. But then, she was taken away by the people of Darkmoon family for half a month, and after she came home, she had hung herself from the house beam.

Ye Xinghe also remembered that the Azure Feather family had to pay a mass of taxes to the Darkmoon family every year. There was a year where the harvest was bad, and after paying taxes to the Darkmoon family, the provisions were simply not enough for the clansmen to use, it resulted to twenty clansmen starving themselves to death in order to save some provision.

There were still a lot more, the blood debt was deeply engraved within his heart, hence, forgetting about it was simply impossible.

Ever since he was a young, Ye Xinghe was determined to change the fate of his clansmen, therefore he was incessantly and diligently cultivating. Additionally, his innate talent was good, so the entire Azure Feather family spared no effort to raise him and finally let him enter the Heavenly Star Academy.

Him coming to the Heavenly Star Academy was not only for his own dreams, but he was also carrying the wishes of his clansmen!
